MumbaiThe arrest of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra in an alleged adult film racket case has become a hot topic in the city. New revelations are being made in the case with every passing day. Zoya Rathore, who has worked in bold films for Hotshots and other websites, exclusively while talking to ABP News opened up about receiving an offer from Raj Kundra.
Zoya claimed that Kundra’s personal assistant and business associate Umesh Kamat called her several times asking her to act in adult films for the Hotshots app. Before his arrest in February, Umesh was trying to persuade Rathod to act in such films.

Umesh asks Zoya to give a ‘nude audition’ via WhatsApp instead of auditioning in the office, claiming that she is out of town. He continued to call her even when she refused to accede to his requests.
While Zoya refuses to give the ‘nude audition’ without knowing the script, Umesh continues to chase her to accept the offer. Kamat offered him twenty thousand rupees per day so that he would agree to act in adult films. By the time of his arrest, he had filled Zoya with calls.
Zoya said that there is a man named Roy (it could be his fake name), who used to work for Hotshots.
According to Zoya, Roy claimed to be UK based. He said that he is making a nude web series for Hotshots internationally, which will have full nudity. He told her that the actress would get Rs 70,000 per day if she agreed to work with him.
When Zoya declined the offer, Roy asked her why she was hesitant to do a nude web series when she has already acted in bold films. The actress was flooded with calls and messages after she decided not to take the offer. Zoya told ABP News that Roy claimed to be in the UK but the set-up associated with the nude web series was based in Singapore.
The actress also said that she worked with Tash Thakur in a bold show for the Newflix app. After taking a break in 2017, she made a comeback in 2020 with ‘Malikana Haq’ opposite Yash Thakur. He said that he had no idea about Thakur’s association with Raj Kundra.
Zoya learned that Umesh Kamat worked for Raj Kundra when the 45-year-old businessman was arrested in an alleged pornography case. He has worked in TV shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Saubhagyavati Bhava and Fear Files. Rathore started working in bold films and series after 2011.
